is mycoplasma hominis a normal vaginal pathogen or is it an sti?

Question

Irritated urethra & slight inflamed meatus Full panel STD test inc mycoplasma gen neg. Enterococcus faecalis found in semen Can this be the cause?

Answer 1

Family practice : Mycoplasma hominus is considered a std. Many times it is self limiting and requires no treatment if asymptomatic. If you have a discharge and have pain it should be treated. It is so small of an organism that it is difficult to discover.

Answer 2

Yes: Women know their bodies and might be familiar with many types of vaginal discharge. However, an unusual one or a new one should be evaluated by a professional. If yellowish green, it could be trichomonas, which an obgyn provider should diagnose and treat. If the woman is pregnant and the discharge is darker green, it could be meconium-stained amniotic fluid, and that could become an OB emergency.

Answer 3

No: The color of vaginal discharge can vary. The foods you eat, the vitamins you take can affect it. You should get checked for STDs if that is an issue.

Answer 4

No: Discharge color depends on the predominant bacteria in your vagina, but it also can be affected by what you eat.

Answer 5

Yes: Greenish vaginal discharge is frequently associated with the trichomonas parasite which can be identified under the microscope as moving flagellated parasites. Since there could be other causes you need to see a gynecologist for an examination, and a wet mount examination of the vaginal discharge.

Answer 6

Yes: Foul smelling discharge needs to be evaluated. The most common cause is a nonsexually transmitted overgrowth of bacteria called bacterial vaginosis. Testing for other sexually transmitted disease may need to be done as well.

Answer 7

Yes: Foul smelling vaginal discharge is frequently seen evidence of bacterial vaginosis (bv). It should be diagnosed and treated properly because it will make you more susceptible to other sexually transmitted diseases, and can effect your pregnancy if you are pregnant.

Answer 8

Yes: Let your doctor know so he can check the discharge and make sure it's just normal for pregnancy and not something that needs to be treated. I'm a big fan of asking questions and talking to your doctor. We do make a lot more discharge when we're pregnant, so don't worry, just go get it checked.

Answer 9

Yes: An increase in discharge is normal with pregnancy. However, any discharge which itches, burns or has an unusual odor should be mentioned to your doctor.

Answer 10

Yes: Whether or pregnant or not, don't be shy about telling your OB provider about a odd- or foul-smelling discharge or one that is blood-tinged or more than usual.

Answer 11

Yes: Any abnormal odor should be evaluated. This is most often seen with a bacterial vaginal infection called gardnarella vaginalis. It can be treated and cured quickly. Other causes are lost tampons, necrosing cervical lesions as seen in cancers. See your doctor and be examined.

Answer 12

Yes: Yes. Normal physiologic vaginal discharge is odorless. Odor is a sign that there may be an infection or other problem and should be discussed with your doctor.

Answer 13

Yes: This can often be a sign of infection. Talk to your doctor.

Answer 14

Yes: While excess vaginal discharge is normal during pregnancy, if it has a persistently bad odor or is associated with intense itching then it could be vaginitis and should be treated. So have it checked out by obstetrician.

Answer 15

Yes: Pregnancy is a time filled with changes. It is hard to say if new or different discharge is a problem or just an annoyance. Let your doctor know about it.

Answer 16

Yes: Yes, you should speak to a doctor about an odd-smelling vaginal discharge. Better yet, scheduling an appointment would give you a more accurate diagnosis. Possible problems may include a bacterial vaginosis infection, trichomonas, or a retained tampon/foreign body.

Answer 17

Yes: A discharge causing an odor is usually due to a bacterial infection. Currently there is no over-the-counter treatment. See your doctor.

Answer 18

Yes: Vaginal discharge odor can vary according to a woman's menstrual cycle, or pregnancy. When the discharge odor is unusual then seeking medical evaluation is warranted to rule out an infection.

Answer 19

Yes: If you have a change in color, texture, odor or amount of vaginal discharge ; problems such as pain, itching burning with urination or sex or redness/swelling then it is best to see your gynecologist for evaluation ; accurate assessment.

Answer 20

Yes: The only requirement to achieve pregnancy is for sperm to reach the ovulated egg. Genital contact can still lead to pregnancy even in the absence of penetration if ejaculation occurs near the vaginal opening.

Answer 21

Not likely: Without deposition of sperm in the (upper) vagina the odds of pregnancy are significantly diminished. Therefore if a penis never enters the vagina this would not occur. If enough semen were placed into the vagina in some other way it is theoretically possible to become pregnant.

Answer 22

Bladder infection: Foul-smelling urine can come from a bladder infection or even from certain foods that we eat. Stds do not usually effect the bladder and i wouldn't think they are responsible for the foul-smelling urine. More than likely it is from a bladder infection. Vaginal infections can sometimes have an odor as well and may be difficult to distinguish from odor caused by urine.

Answer 23

Vitamins/foods: Most of the supplemental vitamins are flushed from the body daily in the urine. Several have distinctive odors as does some foods we eat. If you have been screened & are clear of UTI's or vaginal infections & still note this problem, a review of your supplements is in order.

Answer 24

Get checked: This could represent a vaginal infection. You need to get checked out and get it treated as necessary.
